Zip Zap Pow

Brain zaps

By far the most unpleasant thing about coming off of cymbalta.

So I'm on my newest 30 day refill of 30 mg every other day.... or so as I have prescribed. The every other day part that is.

The brain zaps really are annoying to say the least. You really have a hard time focusing and concentrating on what you have to do. Even rudimentary mundane tasks such as typing.

I think I h.... crap my fingers are all over the keyboard and making too many mistakes.

ok.. so..

Now to see how and if I can get off of everything by the end of the year. We shall see.. I'm making some pretty big plans for this last part of the year.

- Limit alcohol to holidays only. I have 4 drinking days... Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas & NYE.
- 90 days get my ass into shape. My walking days are not consistent enough for me at the moment and I feel like I'm within reach of a number of physical objectives. So make a bit of a reach to get there with some extra effort should work.
- Get off cymbalta by end of year. It's a bit faster than I had planned, but hey things are going well.
I'm keeping track of my emotions and mood (and letting those close know as well).

I'll reevaluate where I am after 90 days...
